Interference or no??
OK folks, try this. Game three of the '75 World Series between the BoSox and the Big Red Machine (That's Boston vs. Cincinnati for those of you in Rio Linda).
Bottom of the 10th and Cesar Geronimo is on first. Sparky Anderson sends Ed Armbrister up and after a 1-1 count, Armbrister lays a bunt down. He then runs into Red Sox catcher Carlton Fisk in fair territory, causing Fisk to throw high over second base and Geronimo is safe at third. PU Larry Barnett ruled no interference on Armbrister. Now, After viewing game three in the confort of my home, I got a chance to see the actual play (thank you Netflix(R) ) and it was, to me, obviously interference. Whaddyathink?? |

Found the rule...
Wonder if this was in the rules in 1975?
Rule 7.09(i) Comment: When a catcher and batter-runner going to first base have contact when the catcher is fielding the ball, there is generally no violation and nothing should be called. “Obstruction” by a fielder attempting to field a ball should be called only in very flagrant and violent cases because the rules give him the right of way, but of course such “right of way” is not a license to, for example, intentionally trip a runner even though fielding the ball. If the catcher is fielding the ball and the first baseman or pitcher obstructs a runner going to first base “obstruction” shall be called and the base runner awarded first base. |

I voted for the wrong answer by accident. Subtract one of the "no" answers and add one to the "yes" column, as this was not interference. Both players were doing what they were supposed to do, and was incidental contact.
